I occasionally select novels without perusing the jacket description. I’m reading for entertainment, but when I encounter something along the lines of “…he/she sat next to me and I started to tingle from their pulsing sexuality…” I know it’s time to stop.
Getting hit by a soccer ball.
This past fall I was “watching” my nephew’s daughter play soccer. I was reading something on my kindle, when I got hit in the head with a soccer ball. Who knew ten year old girls could kick that hard?!
Oh shit. I forgot about that hate-for-humanity inducing garbage immensely. I want to punch people’s temples whenever i encounter one of those. Fucking coward fucking prick ass hypocrite pansy ass smug self important scuured of the world fucking slacktivists. Ill give you a time and place to meet me, so i can show you how sorry I am for not reading your shit-glurge but I know you probably can’t be bothered.
Holy shit. You must be able to read jack shit then! Haha. Thats an unfortunate obstacle to have in order to read. Misused apostrophes are errrwhurr.
I think that word was devised in Talking Head/Pundit/Cable News speak University. I’ve never heard it even on network tv! Wait, i dont watch network tv. But ive still never heard “unpack” used in this nails-on-the-chalkboard manner anywhere outside of Hardball. “Hardball” here is used as a catch-all term for any cable news programming.
“Today President Trump said…”
Back during the Obama presidency, I felt like it was a pretty effective razor that anyone who said ‘Obama’ during our first conversation was probably a complete write-off.
I mean I get why some people didn’t like Obama and that’s fine and we can talk about it when it comes up, but if it’s always on the tip of your tongue and you assume that everyone you meet would like to hear your thoughtson that, that’s a symptom there is some derangement at work.
Likewise with Trump, I’m happy to bash the man all day, but our first meeting involves you sharing your feelings about him… there’s an unhealthy obsession.
“The Democrat Party.”
“Lame Stream Media”
Anytime anyone seriously mentions “we only use 10% of our brain” canard.
Anyone who mentions “quantum” that is not directly referencing actually physics.
Anyone who refers to Alpha Males.(or Beta Males or Gamma Males.)
Thankfully many of us will not use the word “Trump” since there are so many other fine alternatives 
Any use of the word “shibboleth.” Or “douchebags.”
Really good reading so far…so many that I can identify with.
I groan and scoff when I see headlines with the same “newsspeak” lazy journalism cliches. Won’t read them online, or on paper, as they seem like the printed version of clickbait.
Some terms: highlighted ( underlined)
“Lawmaker blasts mayor’s decision…”
“Critics charge that new playground is pork barrel spending…”
“Public works project slated…”
“Commuter rail project chugs along…”
I’m reading a dystopian series of 4 books. It seemed that the author was a big Trump supporter, so I almost through it out the window. I gave it a little more time, and I think he is sort of middle of the road. I’ll give the books a chance.
Any piece of writing discussing Trump which uses the term “Thump” to refer to the President instantly loses my eyes.
<golf clap>
SJW
Anything having to do with racist government officials in Virginia.
CNN: Yeah, I know this is important, but really, day after day after day of the same story?
Some questions are best left unasked.
The cat laying on the book or the screen of my tablet. Stops reading comprehension in it’s tracks, so to speak. I tried to reading out loud thing, for their benefit. Didn’t work.
Yep. That’s the one. There’s a lot of things previously mentioned which will prompt me to very briefly skim to make sure I’m right, but this one is absolute.
Hey, you try writing headlines day in day out. Gotta get the damn paper out.
The phrases “rape culture”, “the patriarchy”, or “peer pressure”, especially when they’re used several times in every sentence.
I understand that those are important issues, but the phrases are over- and misused and always have been.
